I live in a connected world.
In my personal world, I’m addicted to Facebook. I love seeing the pictures of my friends’ kids growing up, hearing what they did on the weekend, and conversing with them back and forth. Everyone whom I’ve ever had contact with personally knows how to find me and reach me via email. If they’ve spent two minutes with me, they also know that email or text is the way to get me fastest.
I’m a daddy’s girl. I have been for as long as I remember. He’s always pushed me to do the best and is one of my biggest supporters. With Father’s Day just a couple of days away, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about my first hero and the first ever military man in my life—my dad.
No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you believe, I think we can all agree on something—love.
I have never been good at making friends. Like, ever.
From as far back as I can remember, I have been told I “look mean.”
Seriously.
It seems like everywhere I turn lately, there’s discussion about the topic of “connectedness;” that is, how engaged (or how lonely) we may feel as military spouses.
Whether it’s on Facebook or in face-to-face conversations that I have with spouses new to our installation, I’m hearing the same thing: it can be incredibly difficult to establish and maintain friendships with others.
My soldier and I have been dating for more than two years now, with more than a year spent apart. While we did have a good chunk of time together before diving headfirst into a long distance relationship, we are constantly learning things about each other.
